Lunch at Ocean & Vine

I previously blogged about brunch at Ocean and Vine located at the Loews Hotel in Santa Monica.  We had better luck at lunch.  Alma ordered the scallop chili which was absolutely delicious.  The giant scallops were tender and cooked to perfection. The chili itself had the right amount of kick.

Raymond ordered the crab salad on an avocado. This was not only beautiful to look at but delicious as well.

I on the other hand decided to have the french toast which was encrusted with nuts and had a banana filling. It looked better than it tasted. The fresh fruit that came with it was just that....fruit...nothing exciting...a bit sour. The whipped cream was there for a very good reason.
